Your body is made up of 206 bones. Your bones help give shape and structure to your body. Your bones help protect your fragile organs, contain bone marrow that stores and makes new blood cells and help control your bodys collection of various nutrients and proteins.
Malignant fibrous histiocytoma is a rare disorder that involves a tumor that is found in your soft tissues or bone. This tumor usually develops in your arms or legs. However, it can start in other parts of your body, also. There are cases of malignant fibrous histiocytoma beginning in the kidneys, lungs, abdomen and muscles.
If malignant fibrous histiocytoma begins in your bone, you may have fractures. If it starts in your soft tissues, you may develop a painless enlarging mass.
Even though this disease is rare, it is the most common soft tissue cancer that is found in older adults. It is usually diagnosed in people between the ages of 50 and 70.
No one knows the exact cause of malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Something goes wrong with the DNA of normal cells that causes them to mutate or have errors, but no one knows what causes this to happen.
What is known is that research has revealed that people with certain risk factors are more likely to develop this disease than others without them. Some of these risk factors are:

Having a history of Pagets disease

Having a history of certain other diseases like non-Hodgkins lymphoma, Hodgkins lymphoma, multiple myeloma or sickle cell disease

Having had radiation treatment for cancer.

As already mentioned, you may have a painless enlarging mass or a broken bone as the first sign or symptom that you experience with malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Other common signs and symptoms of this disease that you may have include:

Low blood sugar

Unintentional weight loss

Fever.

You should be aware of the fact that none of these signs and symptoms is exclusive to malignant fibrous histiocytoma. They can be indications of other medical conditions. Only your doctor can determine whether they are signs and symptoms of this disease.
You or a loved one may be suffering from malignant fibrous histiocytoma. This may be the reason for you or your loved ones disability. Malignant fibrous histiocytoma may be why you are unable to work.
Have you or your loved one applied for Social Security disability benefits or disability benefits from the Social Security Administration because of the disability caused by malignant fibrous histiocytoma? Were you or your loved one denied?
If you appeal the denial by the Social Security Administration, do not ever forget this. People who are represented by a good disability attorney like the one you will find at disabilitycasereview.com are approved more often than those people who do not have a lawyer.
